(EN) | Râpa Roşie is a geological reserve of over 10 hectares. The slopes have heights between 80 and 100 m in which the water has eroded strange forms as it flowed away: columns, towers, pyramids, all in red clay. Deep gorges open to the left and right in which the rain creates red streams that fall towards the bottom with a sinister sound. The birds have also carved many holes on the slopes. The detrital deposits of Râpa Roşie are formed as a succession of red clays, grey and reddish soap-stones, friable white soap-stone in which the drainage water eroded a rich variety of shapes that make this natural monument a landscape wonder. On the surface of the slopes the soil was washed away, revealing day by day new layers of clay, soap-stone and conglomerate layers. The existence of this ravine is linked to the regressive erosion of a tributary to the Secaşul Mare river below.
